An attack on one oatmeal eater is an attack on all oatmeal eaters

No, that title isn’t going to make more sense at the bottom of this post, at least not to either of my regular readers. But it will make sense to someone, and that is enough.

The point what I am making is that this is a story, a story which eventually attacked a dear and precious soul innocently attempting to eat oatmeal, but which began life very differently, as a comment on a mommy blog/ recipe site known to all (factcheck: some) as Wonkette.com. On that blog, an author named Evan wrote about Tucker Carlson’s ridiculous conspiracy theory that the loss of some documents (which Carlson purports to be evidence of wrongdoing by Hunter Biden) during shipment by UPS was obviously a work of sabotage by some nefarious Biden supporter/ UPS worker with x-ray vision who randomly reads documents shipped overnight express in case they might reflect poorly upon that worker’s political hero. How he concludes his story, however, made an old story come to mind, a story which must now begin by quoting the conclusion of Evan’s piece reporting on Tucker Carlson’s paranoia.

WARNING: BEFORE THE STORY BEGINS, IF YOU ARE A TRUMP SUPPORTER AND HAVE NOT YET VOTED, IMMEDIATELY BEGIN CHUGGING HOT BEVERAGES AND/ OR EATING OATMEAL, THEN CONTINUE TO DO SO THROUGHOUT YOUR READING, FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.
